GREEN BAY, Wis.
(GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Following a 63-42
win at Wichita State in the final non-conference road game of the season on
Dec. 30, Green Bay (9-2) returns home to host St. Bonaventure (7-7) on Saturday,
Jan. 5 at 2 p.m. The matchup will be the first all-time meeting between the two
schools, which both found success in the 2012 NCAA Tournament with the Phoenix
advancing to the second round and the Bonnies falling in the Sweet 16.

The win at Wichita State gave Green Bay its
fourth-straight victory and marked the eighth time this season an opponent was
held to 50 points or less. The Horizon League-leading Phoenix is allowing just
49.1 points per game and also boasts a league-best +15.1 scoring margin. Senior
Sarah Eichler(Grafton, Wis.) scored
a team-high 15 points in the win over the Shockers while missing just one shot
from the field. As a team, Green Bay used 17 assists on 23 field goals and hit
77.8 percent from the field in the second half after shooting less than 30
percent in the first.

Green Bay also continued its streak of dominance in
the paint while outscoring the Shockers 26-6 in the lane. Over the past four
games the Phoenix has outscored opponents 136-40 in the paint, including a
64-12 advantage in the previous two wins against Wisconsin and at Wichita
State.

St. Bonaventure travels to Green Bay for the first
time following a 70-66 home loss to N.C. State on Dec. 30. The defeat was the
first home loss for the Bonnies, who are 4-1 at home but a combined 3-6 in road
and neutral games this season.

The matchup will mark the sixth time this season Green
Bay has played an opponent that played in either the 2012 NCAA Tournament or
the 2012 WNIT Tournament, with St. Bonaventure having the most success of these
teams. The Bonnies received a No. 5 seed for the NCAA Tournament and advanced
to the Sweet 16 before falling to No. 1 seed and eventual tournament runner-up
Notre Dame. A season after advancing to the Sweet 16, Green Bay made it to the
second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament before being edged in a close battle
with No. 2 seed Kentucky.

Horizon League play will begin for the Phoenix on
Tuesday, Jan. 8 when Detroit visits the Kress Center for the first time since
the 2012 Horizon League Tournament Championship game, when the Phoenix defeated
the Titans 66-53.

HOME SWEET
HOME: Saturday's game against St.
Bonaventure kicks off a three-game homestand, the longest streak of home games
through the first 11 games of the 2012-13 season. After finishing up
non-conference play against the Bonnies, Green Bay will open Horizon League play
hosting Detroit on Tuesday, Jan. 8, and Wright State on Saturday, Jan. 12.

EFFICIENT
EICHLER: Senior Sarah Eichler
continued her quest to 1,000 career points in the win at Wichita State
recording 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting and a perfect 3-for-3 from long range.
The Grafton, Wis. native is averaging 12.8 points per game, has scored 20 or
more points on two occasions this season and is fourth in the Horizon League
with a 41.9 3-point shooting percentage. Eichler needs 115 points to become the
31st member of the Green Bay women's basketball 1,000-point club, and would be
the second player to do so this season following fellow senior Adrian Ritchie(De Pere, Wis.) accomplishing this feat on Nov. 30.

THEY SHOOT, THEY SCORE: The Phoenix is shooting 45.1 percent from the field
during its four-game winning streak, including a season-high 56.0 percent
against North Dakota State on Dec. 18. After hitting less than 30 percent from
the field in the first half at Wichita State, Green Bay connected on 14 of 18
attempts in the second half, good for a 77.8 percent mark.

NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay opens Horizon League play on Tuesday, Jan.
8 in a rematch of the 2012 Horizon League Tournament Championship game. The
Phoenix went 2-1 against the Titans last season, who were selected to finish
second in the Horizon League preseason poll behind Green Bay this season.
Wright State will pay a visit to Green Bay on Saturday, Dec. 12 to close out
the homestand.
